Interest rate rise expected as inflation persists

The World Tonight

Available for over a year

The Bank of England is expected to raise interest rates as inflation remains high. We'll hear from shopkeepers who say rising prices are fuelling shoplifting. Also on the programme: a French state-of-the-art robot is set to join the operation to find the Titan submersible; and the actor David Harewood tells us about the challenges facing his parents and others from the Windrush generation as they arrived from the Caribbean.
